Once you catch the dinosaur, open a bar and sell romance and alcohol to customers! There is no doubt that it will prosper. But if you die from a dinosaur bite, you'll only get famous once in a newspaper article. Let's go and catch it! I guess it's fun just watching how things turn out.

Should I go or not? (294)

Flying Higher, Gene Jumper, ( cover song )

We conclude our Summer Series on a hopeful note and a glimpse into the future.  Mankind has finally found that it can accept the differences that divide us, share the bounty between us, and become a vast community governed by faith, hope, and love. How did such a thing come about?  We collectively took a step back from the brink of self-annihilation by realizing "we solve most things if we talk".  
Ironically, this was the most complex song of the five to put together,  We all had an idea of how we wanted it to turn out, and thanks to Seagull and a lot of talking between us behind the scenes, we came to consensus and a final version.  Our little band is proof "we can solve most things if we talk":)  It has been an honor to work with each of you:

We Solve Most Things If We Talk

Summer rain finds my face, splashing through my smile
Thunder rumbles fall away, storm is phasing through
Peace of mind is on the case, misery is in denial,
Yesterday’s squally day, tomorrow’s skies are azure blue.

Dreams of history’s tension gladly start to ease
Gripping claws of lunacy finally shun the past
Seems things turned out badly for hunger and disease
Slipping towards unity, laying down the guns at last.

Call my neighbour as my friend, our meanings line as one
Colour, gods and politics accepted as they are
Mutualities to defend no conflict clouds our shining sun
Consideration and respect, a communal repertoire

Mother Mary called today
Handed me a flower stalk
Kissed my worries clean away
We solve most things if we talk.

Need as might we understand equality’s a bed of lies
Celebrate uniqueness as a cast of human thread
Day and night, hand in hand, no polity compromise
Learning from our weakness past, focused on the light ahead.

Mother Mary spoke today
Led me on a learning walk
Eased my troubles on the way
We solve most things if we talk.

Mother Mary sang today
Left me with a simple thought
The wisest heads will simply say
We solve most things if we talk.
"We Solve Most Things If We Talk"

Lyrics:

Been working overtime
Not getting paid
Because it’s all 
Inside my brain

Been staying up late
Not getting sleep
Because it’s all
So damn steep

Like a cliff I’m hanging on the edge
Like a drift I’m headed up ahead
One wrong move I might end up dead
Still haunted by the things you said
I’m sure you didn’t mean
But it ran me out of steam
Tried to take it back that’s the thing
Once its out it’s out eating me
It’s Just destroying me.

Like a train, I’m out of steam
Like a car, with no gasoline
Like a plane, I’m going down
Like a casket, headed for the ground

Been flying on high
Just getting by
Because it’s all
Catching my eye

Been rolling through
Just thinking of you
Because it’s all
I know how to do

Like a cliff I’m hanging on the edge
Like a drift I’m headed up ahead
One wrong move I might end up dead
Still haunted by the things you said
I’m sure you didn’t mean
But it ran me out of steam
Tried to take it back that’s the thing
Once its out it’s out eating me
It’s Just destroying me.

Like a train, I’m out of steam
Like a car, with no gasoline
Like a plane, I’m going down
Like a casket, headed for the ground

Steam

Lyrics;
Aliens or Angels
Art Bell on the air one night
Said something streaked across the sky
So I searched the stars before morning light
In hope a spaceship would fly by

Watching what's been televised
Hey, are they watching me?
From some dimension as yet unknown
Beyond our technology

Are there Angels down from Heaven
That look out for our soul
Or aliens from outerspace
Who wait to take control

There's a limit to my vision
I'm only flesh and bone
I search for something out there
For some great unknown

Are they here now only waiting
for some fateful day
To show themselves in their true form
In some congenial way

Could eyes out in the universe
See this speck of dust
Orbiting a yellow star
Is someone watching us?

Are there Angels down from Heaven
That look out for our soul
Or aliens from outerspace
Who wait to take control

There's a limit to our vision
We're only flesh and bone
Are there Aliens or Angels
Or are we all alone

George Noory on the air tonight
Speaks of fire in the sky
I search the stars before  morning light
And pray that spaceships will fly by

Aliens Or Angels

I wanted to include a little talk at the beginning, I know many people probably don't read all the descriptions. Myself included. I've been thinking of a way to reach people more and I figured it's worth a shot to start talking about the song I'm performing. This is a live take with no editing what so ever. Just cranked up a little reverb and then recorded. I did the song a few times before it sounded how I wanted it to. Personally, I got a lot of pleasure out of making this song. I hope the meaning and feelings reach those who need it most. Love and appreciation to all of you who take time out of your day to listen to me. I truly means the world. To those who don't like to leave comments I would like to just say hello to you. Maybe one day when you're brave enough, we can talk about our passions, and encourage each other to keep going in whatever adventure you're in.

Lyrics:
This is just a glimpse, what I’m going through
Paper thin recognition, won’t get me through
Love so deep ignoring consequence
Alone using the same sequences
should just cut it off it seems so useless
Can’t get a bite mentally toothless
Giving and giving want so badly to take
Like a withered old battered down rake
Unable to gather what’s left for my sake
Stuck in a pattern and I’m ready to BREAK

I Need an infusion
Be my surgeon
Use the extraction
Ignore my reaction
Implant it quickly
Forced serenity

Cuz I can’t stop the bleeding
Need someone to retrieve me
Hold me down and snap me
From these delusions to reality
Should I scream for you to understand
Or should I just endure, be a man

Can’t seem to decide for myself
Just pull me off the highest shelf
Don’t let me fall, that would crush me
Gently hold my soul, emotions are erupting

Forced Serenity

This song is about my son. I think with this song, I plan to add a second part about my daughter as well, and then improve the song a little, but this will be the style mostly. I just wanted to write what I would say to any of my children. In fact I'd go as far to say I'd say this to any child. Just be you because the real you is incredible. If you are yourself, you will end up with people who love you. You don't need everyone to love you, just a few will do. Anyway, I hope you're all out there being your most incredible selves! Love to you all!

Lyrics:
You wear those eyes just like your mother
A simple look and your spell I’m under
People quote being wrapped around a finger
Yours so tiny, yet in my mind they linger
The thought of the world changing you so fast
Has me shaken so bad I can’t stay on task

Cuz my baby boy, is no longer a baby
Soon he’ll be out chasing the ladies
Can’t help but hope they don’t destroy him
Because I know the fragile sides of him
Like the time he cried over spilled chocolate milk
How his hair feels soft like a sheet of silk

But I have to let him grow
But at least I’ll let him know
Be you and only you
So, you end up
Where you’re supposed to
Be you and only you
Because you’re more than good enough 
Because you’re just so incredibly you

Incredibly You

Tiz but a demo. Currently, the ideas are flowing so I'm just getting the base ideas out there. It's still a complete song in a sense, but as with everything in life there is always room for improvement. As with most of my songs, it's just vocal and guitar with some added effects. I feel like I often get lost in the online world, and I forget to focus on the importance of real life. I'm pretty sure many people have this same exact issue. So I wanted to make a cool song about it. Strangely enough, it was mostly inspired by some AI songs I have heard, and just the simple lack of emotion, and how terrible it sounded to me. The thought, of a slow change where people no longer can tell the difference anymore and we're all just robots, essentially, just crossed my mind. Anyway, cool idea, pretty cool song, can improve, but I'll work on that... someday, haha. Later everyone!

Lyrics:
Do you not realize, 
you’re turning into a robot
Using all these technologies 
and AI things
Generated automated responses
Programing your brains
To do strange things
Human minds
Are not meant to do

Do you not realize, 
losing your sense of self
Becoming only a small piece 
Of this online world
Programming your mind
To never unwind
Only searching
For some kind of meaning

When there is meaning right in front of you
Hoping and begging for you to unglue
Your eyes and your ears 
Through all of these years
It’s been waiting
Just for you
To come and find a true sense
Of identity

Do you not realize, that boy staring at you 
With those eyes, so full of wonder
Generating feelings of love
All for nothing
Because your wrapped up 
In your phone
But you’re all alone

Do you not realize, you’re missing the best parts
Becoming only a small part
Of this never-ending world
Programming your mind
Never see the light
Only scrolling
For some kind of meaning

When there is meaning right in front of you
Hoping and begging for you to unglue
Your eyes and your ears 
Through all of these years
It’s been waiting
Just for you

Identity (Demo)

Lyrics: 
never meant for you to always have your way
I just wanted us to somehow find our way
But in the journey, I slowly started to fade
The man you thought you wanted I became

and now, that I’ve awakened
There’s this heart-breaking 
Divide between our reality 
And what we feel inside 

IM NOT THE MAN OF YOUR DREAMS
YOU MAY NEVER REALLY LOVE ME 
ALWAYS WANTING PRINCE CHARMING
AND TO ME THAT’S SO ALARMING
BECAUSE HE DOES NOT EXIST
HE DOES NOT EXIST

I never meant for us to crumble away
I just wanted us to live for today
But in the journey, we started to fade
Loving arms turned into hateful blades

and now, that I’ve awakened
There’s this heart-breaking 
Divide between our reality 
And what we feel inside 

IM NOT THE MAN OF YOUR DREAMS
YOU MAY NEVER REALLY LOVE ME 
ALWAYS WANTING PRINCE CHARMING
AND TO ME THAT’S SO ALARMING
BECAUSE HE DOES NOT EXIST
HE DOES NOT EXIST

Prince Charming Does Not Exist

Many thanks to Eddie Harrison for his work on this new love song. Eddie gave it that 60's feel that I love.  (BMI)

Do You Know (Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring Eddie Harrison) Original

I work as a nurse in the state of Florida and I love being there for people in need. My other true passion is making music. I'm kind of an amateur but I look forward to getting better and making the best music I can.

Most the songs I do in about a day and then move on. I don't have the skill to make them radio quality yet, but I hope with collaborating with others and making my own music I will learn some skills along the way. I don't focus on perfection, I focus on emotion and try to put feeling into my music.

Also, I love to get lost in other peoples work, I will often play video games while listening to a bunch of someone else's works and commenting on the ones I like the most, not all though, don't wanna seem like a stalker, unless you like that of course.

Been feeling a little burnt out lately, so if I'm not responsive please don't take it personal. Having to work OT to keep the family afloat, so I haven't had time for music and when I do have any time I'm just too exhausted. I definitely want to make more it brings me a lot of joy to make music. At the same time it is very taxing, reaching into the depths can sometimes cause unwanted feelings to linger longer than they should. Anyway, I love all the support you have all sent my way. See ya around!

Update: Soundcloud has become too expensive and the free version is terrible. They removed a lot of my songs etc... I will be moving on to a different distributer and working on more social media outlets so I won't be on here as much. Many of my songs will be on Spotify, apple etc, I'm in the process of transitioning them. I will leave what I can with the allotted two hours. I appreciate all of you. James Geer, Miami Jeff, Steve V... If you guys are reading this I want you to know how much I appreciate you guys. You are all wonderful musicians and you shared your knowledge and music with me and I'm a better artist because of it, so, thanks!!! See yall around!!!
